Paul's Final Thoughts

Good morning, dear Friends and Prayer Partners! This is the day that the Lord has made and we will rejoice and be glad in it! The sun is shining brilliantly after the thunderstorms of last night. I thought the lightning and thunder would never end! Our power went off three times and came back on after a minute or two.l That's the kind of storm I really don't care for. The trees sure got cleaned out, though, There is trash all over the yard and driveway..leaves and broken twigs, especially in the driveway and it looks like a nest at the end of the drive. Maybe just a big clump of leaves. Anyway, I will have to go clean it off, before the heat gets too fierce.

Today I go for my next to last radiation treatment. Yay! The best part is coming or going and seeing roseate spoonbills by the road. I saw one way out in the field Monday, all by himself. They are so beautiful! I watched a DVD about the environment in a rain forest on the big screen at the oncology place and saw lots of different hummingbirds with many colors, but still, the roseate is the prettiest.

I didn't see any birds except a tri-colored heron, and an anhinga at the park yesterday. Very few people there, But the clouds were already building up, so it's a good idea not to be out among the trees. But God is good!

Philippians 4:4-9

Always be full of joy in the Lord. I say it again--rejoice! Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do. Remember, the Lord is coming soon.

Don't worry abour anything;instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done. If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

And now, dear brothers and sisters, let me say one more thing as I close this letter. Fix your thoughts on what is true and honorable and right. Think about things that are pure and lovely and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise. Keep putting into practice and all you learned from me and heard from me and saw me doing, and the God of peace will be with you.

I always give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers with thanksgiving, joy and love!

Love and hugs,
Amaryllis
